Kindle DX called "poor excuse of an academic tool" in Princeton pilot program {Engadget}
Sep 28th 2009 8:27PM E-Book readers are probably amazing to use for a quick reference and on-the-go... but whatever concept we have now can't beat a stack of opened books in front of you when it comes to academic use, like Nilay Patel once said (and as a law student, I know how that's like). My personal opinion of why books still beat e-books when it comes to assessing more than one reading material at the same time is purely convenience and speed. It takes too long to go through a random sequence of pages, or even multiple articles/textbooks. The speed of getting information by keeping loads of books with the relevant pages open are what these digital readers need to beat.
Even my laptop, with multiple .doc's open, is a pain to alt+tab/(cmd+`) through.
Probably one day when E-books are cheap enough to just throw around and have them loads of them with different materials showing at the same time, but then again... isn't that what the Kindle's selling point is trying to prevent?
However, for note taking, the Microsoft Courier comes very close (at least in concept) to what I'd pick up the moment it's launched, if they can replicate the feel of pen against paper.
Sorry. Ranting.

Sep 22nd 2009 7:59PM I'm loving the whole design shown on the video. But let's just hope this doesn't get bogged down by the inevitable integration with Windows and Office suites.
Also, while it might probably affect the multi-touch experience, it would be amazing if they could replicate the feel of pen against paper.
Been looking forward to something like this for years.
Sony Alpha 850 DSLR manual pops up on Hong Kong support site {Engadget}
Aug 2nd 2009 6:10PM You're assuming that people who buy Sony-handycams will not jump to Nikon/Canon/etc's video-enabled DSLRs, or that Sony is the only provider of DSLR's and videocams.
